Am Grateful Still, 2012!

This year has been a series of one unfortunate thing after another for me. I don't know if this is sort of some psychosomatic effect from my pessimistic view of this year. Maybe subconsciously the film 2012 has taken root and sprouted evil malicious vines inside my head and heart. Hahaha. Or maybe I simply had a bad year. Darn fates. Hehehe. But no, I shouldn't shift all the blame on some overly sensationalized film with over-the-top special effects but little plot... or to some other unknown entity, should I? I probably should put some of the blame on my diminutive shoulders. Nobody forced me to take this or that particular road or highway... or make this or that bad decision, after all. :P

However, despite all the bad things that happened to me this year... not to mention that really unfortunate and partly anger-inducing accident that I've chosen to erase from my memory forever... there are also good, nay great, things that I got or gained this year. I learned a lot of new and cool stuff. I met a group of great and pretty interesting people. And I learned that I have my limits, which is quite enlightening, I tell you. I'm not much of an achiever of anything but I've always thought I could learn anything that I put my mind to. Obviously, that was just someone's attempt to tell some white lie to someone else for an ego boost or something of the sort. :D Yes, I could be naive, too. Haha.

In conclusion, I had a pretty good year. 2012 may not have been good to my wallet... but it was certainly great where it really counted.

Hope next year would be "greater"...not just "better". And yes, this is me trying to be cute... and I will never do it ever again. :P

Merry 2012, everyone!

The Real Deal about Truth and Freedom

For the past few weeks, I have been fortunate enough to stick to the routine of reading a verse from the Bible every morning and reflecting on its message. It has been wonderfully enlightening, to say the least. Last Wednesday, this was the verse that greeted me when I opened my Bible app... If the son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. ~ John 8:36 To say that I was stunned is an understatement... but then, I shouldn't have been. Ever since I can remember, whenever I'm struggling with some ethical or moral dilemma, I always get an epiphany of the answer. In my youthful pride, I thought "Wow, I'm brilliant." Not knowing it was not actually me but God who was guiding me to the answers. It took me a while to realize this and thankfully when I became an adult, I did. This time was one of them. You see, I was struggling. Four months and still counting, my father and I have been forced to endure each other's company for weeks on end. Outsid

A blessed month... this one we call January

Many of my friends and some of my family were born this month. I do not exactly know if they were born on gloomy or sunlit days. But I do know this, my world has been made more beautiful because they were. More specifically, four of my most favorite people in the world were January babies. *Bella Dona* (10th) She is one of the wisest and kindest people I know. She has both been a staunch supporter and chastiser in my world. She transforms into one or the other from time to time, whichever I need the most at that time. And she is among the first to turn 31 in our batch this year. Hehehe! But never you mind, Don. 31 is just a number. What matters is that your heart is in the right place. Right? Right! :D *Lovely Lola Natang* (25th) She was my first ally ever since I came out and greeted the world with my annoying baby cries. She was the one who first took care of me when my Mama immediately went back to work after my natal day. And she was always the first to enthusiasticall

Another Food Blog

Yes, I'm writing for another food blog; only this time I'm getting paid for it. Great gig, right? So for my friends out there, please check the said food blog... that is if you have any time to spare. (Click on the title or the cute pink cupcake.) And no, I'm not forcing anyone to read this. That would be beyond arrogance. Even I know I'm no expert on writing in general. But since the lady boss is happy about the articles, I'm pretty content about the whole thing... despite doubts. (And yes I'm aware of the contradictions in those statements. Moving on!) Hehehe.
